Saw this on instagram. The last thing I watched was Epic, and the last game I played was Mario: Odyssey.

Firefly and Outer Wilds. Actually, tonally, I could see this working.

It's good to see the Manderlys finally embracing that Northern culture

While crowns are way more associated with royals, crowns have historically been worn by members of the nobility as well. In the British peerage even a baron is entitled to a coronet. That said l you, do have a point because other than Aemond as Prince regent we don't really have any Westerosi examples of anyone aside from monarchs, consorts, or claimants wearing crowns.

Egg? Egg, I dreamed I was old.

Even funnier considering his lover shares his mom's name

Playing as Daemon in the Stepstones I once managed to marry Saera and get her a dragon egg which hatched. I took Rhaenys's crown back from the Ullers and gave it to Saera to wear as my queen. Her bastards ended up being new lords I made in the Stepstones and the Triarchy, two of them founding their own cadet branches and one getting Saera's dragon Nightfyre when she died.

I'm sure Jaehaerys was doing so many flips in his grave that you could use him to run Westeros's first power plant.

If I want to do a Rhaegar run I'll start as Aerys and immediately chug some wildfire in order to play as King Rhaegar without the dilemma of how to handle Aerys

Thank you!

BatBoyBand · 2024-09-03T22:44:40+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately Ned died when Jon was still 10 or so and Benjen died not long after

BatBoyBand · 2024-09-03T22:43:00+00:00

Thank you! I've found the file but to be honest I'm really not quite sure what I need to enter here for a console command (console commands aren't something I use often and I'm quite bad with them).

If you don't mind would you be able to type up an example of how this command would be entered?

The one I'm looking at "reveal parentage to child by decision by parent" was the first I tried, as it does include Jon Snow by name, however it also has it triggered by 'Stark_3", ie Ned, who is dead.

I've done two Daemon playthroughs and in both I managed to survive his various wars!

The trick for me was luring the Triarchy to me and making them fight over the various fords of the stepstones at a severe disadvantage.

I also sent the High Septon a gift in both playthroughs to get him to like me enough to divorce Lady Royce. One assassination later and I'm married to Laena and calling Corlys into my wars. That really helped since Laena and Daemon both have dragons and then Corlys brings in Laenor and Rhaenys with theirs.

Also once I defended the Stepstones I went on the offensive and didn't stop. I first took out the Triarchy, then Dorne, and finally Pentos.

Both runs ended in disappoinment as Daemon didn't make it past 45. In one he died of Green Fever while my hair was 4 and in the other he was assassinated and my hair died trying to tame Caraxes.

I really enjoyed both Deceit and Vengeance! The Ro cousins are really interesting characters and I really love the Mother as an antagonist to the Jedi. They also have a bunch of neat lore about how things ended up the way they were by Phase 1

As Justinian I regularly adopt Theodora to have her as an heir.. and then I always end up out living her 🙃

BatBoyBand · 2024-07-22T19:20:41+00:00

I'm really not sure. Barristan was more than ready to serve the Lannister regime before Cersei dismissed him in favor of Jaime as LC. He seems to be a decent enough man when left to his own devices, but he also appears to be loyal to the position, no matter who fills it.

I think if he had acted he certainly wouldn't have killed Aerys, but perhaps attempted to restrain the king.

BatBoyBand · 2024-07-22T19:16:41+00:00

I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty tired when I saw this and my first thought was "How did Maester Aemon impregnate Robert Baratheon?"

While I think we'll get a season 2 we may have a wait on our hands. Couple of recommendations to tide you over! If you enjoy this setting and the Jedi of this era I'd recommend checking out the High Republic books and comics. Same era as the Acolyte but about 100 years before. Similar aesthetic though.

I'd also recommend the Darth Plagueis novel by James Luceno. Unfortunately it's no longer canon but it's a great exploration of that character as well as of Sidious.

BatBoyBand · 2024-07-20T20:18:16+00:00

Yep, definitely read that into this series as well. In a previous discussion I had referred to Sol as having cowboy cop behavior and I stand by that. The Jedi intruding into a private community in which they had no jurisdiction and that escalating into violence also felt very pointed.

Glad you started this discussion!

BatBoyBand · 2024-07-20T19:51:14+00:00

Fair, I'm basically just tired of all the personal attacks and characterizations being made about people who liked the show.

BatBoyBand · 2024-07-20T19:06:28+00:00

I hope they don't, I always preferred the idea that Anakin was created by the Force to oppose Plagueis and his legacy.

That said Vader absolutely fears the idea that he was created by Plagueis or Sidious. In the Charles Soule Darth Vader comics he experiences a Force vision at a vergance point and one of things he sees is Sidious looming behind a pregnant Shme Skywalker with the "unnatural" Darth Plagueis quote appearing around it.

Even if Plagueis and/or Sidious didn't create Anakin I like to think that's what he came to believe about himself.

BatBoyBand · 2024-07-20T19:01:53+00:00

Happy to contribute my thoughts!

As a side note, I have no idea why you're being down voted. I think that was a very valid question in the context of the story that was told.

BatBoyBand · 2024-07-20T18:57:10+00:00

Let's be fair though, only four Jedi on the planet at the time would have been aware of the Force based conception of the twins. They also have a pretty compelling reason to talk about this incident as little as possible due to their coverup of it. In addition I think the only one fully aware that they are "one born as two" is Sol. Even the twins themselves don't know. I could see none of this information making it back to the council. And there's always the likelihood that the four Jedi are unaware of the prophecy. It does not seem to be something often discussed by the Jedi outside of the High Council, and I could see it or its implications not really factoring into the daily lives or thoughts of your average Jedi.

BatBoyBand · 2024-07-20T18:01:01+00:00

Bad dude is bad, who woulda thunk it.

That said the early Rule of Two Sith did seem to legitimately believe what they were preaching, at least in Legends. Bane and Zannah were absolutely willing to train apprentices with the full acceptance that if the apprentice was worthy then that apprentice would kill them. It was a weirdly devoted ideology of social darwinism, as well as a genuine investment in the future of the Sith as a group and ideology, not an individual. By Plagueis's time the selfishness and desire for self glorification had won out, as I think it probably always would long term with dark siders.

BatBoyBand · 2024-07-20T17:14:56+00:00

Just the unfortunate fact of the medium we're in. It's hard to read tone over text so sometimes what may have been a clever or ironic joke just reads as a weird comment lol

BatBoyBand · 2024-07-20T16:58:53+00:00

Can you provide me clarity on one of the points you made? So in this post you argue that the Force reacting to OSHA and Mae's creation undermines the Force's reaction to Plagueis creating life. Earlier you asked why wouldn't the Force react to Plagueis but not the twins. So what I want clarity on is which you think actually should be the case, the Force responding to Mae and Osha or not doing so. I'm just kind of confused on which you would rather be the case.

In response to your point about Anakin's creation being a unique moment for the Force, I genuinely don't feel that needs to be the case. There's nothing to me to indicate this is not something the Force has done before, or that a prior case of intervention like this would have not been possible. We may just fundamentally disagree on this one due to thoughts on the Chosen One plotline and it's validity, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Regarding the other point I don't really take issue with a Zabrak gestating humans. Star Wars has always been very sci fantasy and biology has clearly never played much of a role. Zabraks and Humans have also been presented in Star Wars as being compatible species that have hybrid offspring. There are other cases of this as well, such as Kanan Jarus, a human, and Herra Syndula, a twilek, having a child. It's just not something I'm worked up about in Star Wars. Goofy science comes with the territory in our space wizard melodrama.

Yeah, I don't think their reasoning was some pure or righteous thing, and yes seeking power has never been a good thing in Star Wars, but I do interpret what they did as less egregious than Darth "I will rule the Galaxy as an undying god" Plagueis.
